In 2021, Dallas discussed the close bond that the siblings have.
“We are such a close family and really, really, really supportive,” she said during an interview withThe Grizzly Podcast. “That’s one thing that I can say that I thank God for every single day about my family is the fact that we are some of the toughest people.”

However, over a decade after the series ended, Madison opened up about her struggles while starring on the show, including theeating disordershe developed at a very young age.
“The reactions that I got to my character onDesperate Housewives, it was just shocking,” Madison said on theHeart of What Matterspodcast in 2023. “A lot of people came at it in a way that they were ‘concerned for my health.’ And I personally believe that that’s just not true, that that was a cover-up so that they could just judge a 6-year-old.”

In 2013, the “Confident” singer publicly revealed that they had another older sister during a radio show appearance.
“[Amber is] my half-sister, but I talked to her for the very first time in my life around when I turned 20,” Demi said.
“I asked her, I said, ‘Why haven’t you ever contacted me?’ ” the “Heart Attack” singer continued. “She said, ‘Well, I never wanted you to think I wanted anything from you. So I’ve just been kind of waiting to see if you wanted a relationship.’ I thought that was so incredible.”
According to Dallas’Instagram biography, Dallas works as an acting and vocal coach.
She also “makes pretty things” and often shows her colorful creations across her Instagram and TikTok accounts. In April 2023, she showed off atie-dyed T-shirtwith “MANIAC” written across the front in graffiti-style lettering.

Demi, Dallas and Madison have all been vocal about their mental health and sobriety journeys with fans over the years — and have had the support of each other through it all.
In 2018, Demisuffered a near-fatal drug overdose, which she later discussed in her 2021 docuseriesDancing with the Devil. Nearly a month following Demi’s hospitalization, Madison showed support for her older sister on Instagram, writing, “today could have been one of the worst days of my life, but instead i get to spend it thanking God, the incredible doctors, demi’s team, and everyone across the world who offered their support - without all of these people i wouldn’t have my big sister anymore.”
Demi has also been there for Dallas and Madison as they’ve opened up about their own struggles. In March 2021,Dallas shared her feelings of anxietywith her 60,000 Instagram followers. In response, Demi left a heartfelt comment on her sister’s post, writing, “Proud of you!” Dallas commented back, “Thank you for being her for me especially now… I’m so happy I have you as my sister AND FRIEND.”
And when Madison spoke abouther decision to get soberat 20 years old, she toldE! Newsthat Demi has “been an example for me. Now I get to be that example for other people, and I could not be happier. I’m grateful for that."
The actress, who was 248 days sober at the time of the interview, said that she decided to embark on her “journey of recovery” after substances began to alter her personal relationships.
“I went through a lot of things last year that made me want to stay in bed, made me want to hide from the world,” she explained. “When I realized it started to affect my relationship with not only my friends, but specifically my relationship with my mom, that’s when I knew I had to make a change."
